Hello all!
I am pleased to announce the release of the initial data files for the Tianxia: Blood, Silk and Jade setting for Fate Core.
The following is the duplication of the information contained in the readme.txt file included in the zip file below (future releases will have the readme included within the .hl file itself to make things easier).

The included Hero Lab rules file is created and distributed by Thomas Clegg. You may contact him with errata by email at tn_clegg AT lycos.com or by messaging user TCArknight on the wolflair forums (http://forums.wolflair.com/index.php).
You are free to distribute this Hero Lab rules file as long as there is no charge applied, and this readme file is distributed with it.
This is the implementation of the Tianxia ruleset for Fate Core in Hero Lab.
How do I make a Tianxia Character?
1) open the Character -> Configure Hero window to display a list of the systems you may have installed.
2) Select the Tianxia - Blood, Silk and Jade entry under the Tianxia header beneath the User Content settings. (This will cause the Campaign dropdown to display "<Select Me>" )
3) Click on the Campaign dropdown and select the Tianxia Campaign. This will enable the additional Kung Fu tab for the hero as well as set the Refresh Rate and other Tianxia-specific settings.
At this point, you can build your Hero as you would any other. The difference is the availability of the Kung Fu tab where Martial Art Forms and Techniques are selected.
Kung Fu Tab -
This tab is separated into three areas. At the top the current Movement for the character (in zones) is listed, as well as the Jianghu Rank. In the middle of the tab, any Kung Fu Forms the character may have chosen are listed, and at the bottom the Techniques selected for those forms. Forms and Techniques are built using the existing Stunt mechanism in Herolab.
Until a Form is chosen, all Techniques will be invalid.

If anyone has any comments, suggestions or bugs to report, you can email them to me, PM me on here, or post them to this thread. (I will consolidate any issues reported to this thread so it is all visible and in one place.)
I look forward to all feedback both good or bad.
